Piece of Junk - Death Trap
I bought a brand new 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie and it’s been the worst purchase of my life. They hybrid battery pack failed and the truck went whacko and shut off mid drive, while my kids were in the car and on the way to school. It took several weeks to get it back. I’m only at 10,000 miles and now the infotainment system is crapping out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Brand new truck and I have to use my cell phone for Waze/navigation. I’m extremely concerned about my families well being in this truck. Dealers don’t seem to care at all. Beyond frustrating to by this pretty expensive truck and for it to basically be a lemon.

Drives like a Lexus LS460
I have had five Ford F-150 including two raptors. I test drove the Ram 1500 Limited and the ride was incredible. It reminded me of my 2009 Lexus LS 460 . I really liked the soft Lexus ride. It could not believe that the Ram 1500 Limited drives like a Lexus as a result of the Air suspension. I immediately purchased the vehicle .

Honest Review
I really wanted to love this truck, but the V6 e-torque is total garbage - gas mileage isn’t even close to advertised (I am averaging 12.5 mpg combined) and it randomly chugs / sputters while accelerating. I’ve taken it in too many times to count. It’s roomy and looks great inside and out. Radio & backup camera is garbage too. No recalls though?

No power after 800 miles
I went for an oil change at the dealer at 800 miles and when we drove out both the wife and I noticed it has lost power under acceleration. Had to go on a long trip so did not bother to check again but changed the oil at 3000 miles and followed the break in instructions based on the owners manual. Came back and decided to do a horsepower check at 8000 miles. It is doing zero to sixty in 9.5 seconds instead of the advertised 6.2 seconds meaning half the horsepower is gone. It is putting out only 247 horses instead of the advertised 390 horsepower. Despite this obvious issue the dealer keeps blowing me off and saying there is nothing wrong with the truck but would refuse to even do a blow by test or compression check. I am still waiting to hear back from them but based on the pushback and the follow up or lack thereof from RAM I would hesitate to buy another one of these trucks ever again. Why would anyone dealer or manufacture give you a run around and push back like this? Because they are getting away with it and very few people actual do a power test on their truck to see if it has the power advertised.

2022 Ram 1500 Laramie Eco Diesel rocks!
Love the drive and the plush interior. My last 4 cars from oldest to most recent were BMW, and then 3 consecutive Audis and I have to say, this truck is a pleasure to drive. Definitely different from the German engineering and tight suspension but a delight to drive. Updating my review after 1 year and 16k miles. Still loving the truck. I have the turbo diesel and took the family to Florida last summer. Averaged 32 mpg while averaging 78 mph. Absolutely no issues thus far.
